Answer:
[tex](7,-11)[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
[tex]S = (1,5)[/tex]
[tex]M = (4,-3)[/tex]
Required
Determine the coordinates of T
Midpoint is calculated as:
[tex]M(x,y) = \frac{1}{2}(x_1 +x_2,y_1+y_2)[/tex]
Where:
[tex](x,y) = (4,-3)[/tex]
[tex](x_1,y_1) = (1,5)[/tex]
Substitute these values in the above formula:
[tex](4,-3) = \frac{1}{2}(1 + x_2,5+y_2)[/tex]
Multiply through by 2
[tex]2 * (4,-3) = 2 * \frac{1}{2}(1 + x_2,5+y_2)[/tex]
[tex](8,-6) = (1 + x_2,5+y_2)[/tex]
By direct comparison:
[tex]1 + x_2 = 8[/tex] and [tex]5 + y_2 = -6[/tex]
Solving for x2
[tex]1 + x_2 = 8[/tex]
[tex]x_2 = 8 - 1[/tex]
[tex]x_2 = 7[/tex]
Solving for y2
[tex]5 + y_2 = -6[/tex]
[tex]y_2 = -6 - 5[/tex]
[tex]y_2 = -11[/tex]
Hence, the coordinates of T is: [tex](7,-11)[/tex]
